The road is beautiful.
Can we do away with this black and white painting of kerbside and concrete demarcating opposite lanes?

Nigeria sha celebrating 6-lanes when developed countries are sending probes to Mars, Jupiter and very soon Europa.....infact @what cost is this 6-lane

EmeeNaka:
I am not talking about marking of the asphalt. I am referring to the concrete that demarcated the opposite lanes. That black and white painting is not good.

OK, the median and kerb

They are not only meant for beautification , on high way it reflect beam of light in and out. The black absorb the light thereby reducing the reflection of light on other road users while the white reflect the light thereby increasing the reflection for a low beam of light to be able to see long sight distance.

Black and White painting on Road Median is an eyesore; we have road reflectors for night driving, and I am sure it does not cost an arm to buy

DMerciful:
The painting is standard and means something. Continuous white line means you cannot overtake. Broken white lines means you can overtake. There are many lines but few used in Nigeria

Hes not talking about the markings, but the concrete black and white painting in the middle. Me I no like am too, but I'm not an expert.

the government can be sued if there are no road markings. It’s meant to guide drivers. It’s the right thing to do

Black on gives the highest degree of contrast, considering our warm climate and the associated sunglare which is an issue for drivers.

Also, most Nigerians behind the wheel shouldn't be driving.
Someone using medicated glasses should not be a driver, according to Road use laws, but we know better.

As for the concrete demarcation, I've seen Keke riders climbing kerbs to bypass roundabouts.

When we have lunatics behind the wheel, such barriers are necessary.

Visit these barriers after six months and you'll see where cars have "kissed" it in their impatience.

Remove the barriers altogether and badasses will be doing U-turns at full speed and ramming into other vehicles and pedestrians in the process.

Dem dey smash traffic controller platforms sef if the road is sufficiently narrow.

Naija matter long.

Otti delivering Rivers State standard of roads in Abia State. This only proves Southeast has the ability to use RCC, Julius Berger , CCECC and reputable construction firms in building City roads.

In transport management, we have road construction & road marking conventions.
Commonly used colors for road markings are white or yellow while the road is always black of course.
